NFL Week 14 injuries: Vikings’ Justin Jefferson set to return; Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence not practicing

As we march deeper into December, injuries will play an even bigger factor as teams vie for playoff positioning. That fact was reinforced Monday night when the Jaguars sustained injuries to both quarterback Trevor Lawrence and wideout Christian Kirk during their overtime loss to the Bengals. 

Jacksonville is one of several teams that are currently facing an uphill battle as far as injuries are concerned. The Eagles, for example, are dealing with some notable injuries involving running back D’Andre Swift and tight end Dallas Goedert. Philadelphia is hoping to have both players in uniform for Sunday night’s huge NFC East game against the rival Cowboys. 

Here’s a rundown of each NFL team’s injury news at the start of the work week. 

Atlanta’s top two cornerbacks, Jeff Okudah (ankle) and A.J. Terrell (concussion), were limited during Wednesday’s practice. Wideout Mack Hollins (ankle) was a full practice participant. 

Linebacker Nate Landman (knee) and offensive lineman Kaleb McGary did not practice after both players were unable to finish Sunday’s win over the Jets. 

D’Onta Foreman (ankle) was a full practice participant. For the Lions, rookie QB Hendon Hooker and linebacker Alex Anzalone (hand) were able to practice in full. Center Frank Ragnow (knee/back/toe) and linebacker Malcolm Rodriquez (ankle) were limited. 

Colts at Bengals 

There is no return timetable for running back Jonathan Taylor, who had thumb surgery last week. Offensive tackle Braden Smith (knee) and linebacker E.J. Speed (knee) dit not practice, while DT DeForest Buckner (shoulder) was full. 

Battered and bruised for the better part of a month, the Bengals had a relatively clean injury report on Wednesday. Offensive tackle Jonah Williams returned to practice in a limited capacity, while DE Sam Hubbard received a veteran’s day off.
